Mini Digger/Snow Plough Blade ?

Posted by Gary RK on January 6, 2011 at 3:51pm in Careers

Has anyone seen or have any experience of any 'snow plough' blades that could be fitted to a mini-digger in place of the scraper blade ?

 

Just thinking if we could use our digger more. Tried it in the snow, but you can't move much with such a small blade. Appreciate if won't handle 2+ foot drifts, but may work also much easier to transport around.

    Hi Gary

    Other than the bobcats we have discussed in the ' paying for time off due to weather ' thread we used a slurry scraper on the back of a tractor in one retail park. Although quicker It only pushes the snow but doesn't help in creating strategic piles. The problem with a mini digger is they are so damn slow !

    Have a trawl (or plough :-) through this list of topics Gary.  You might find some info of interest.

    Hi, I've been involved in most of those discussions as it's something we've done regularly, but I wanted to find out any explicit experience since those posts on possibility of using a mini-digger we have access to.

    Someone suggested such a thing exists (like the snow ploughs you can place on forklift trucks).......
